Monte Carlo simulation-based estimation for the minimum mortality temperature in temperature-mortality association study
BACKGROUND Rich literature has reported that there exists a nonlinear association between temperature and mortality. One important feature in the temperature-mortality association is the minimum mortality temperature (MMT). The commonly used approach for estimating the MMT is to determine the MMT as the temperature at which mortality is minimized in the estimated temperature-mortality associati...
متن کاملBrief Report: Investigating Uncertainty in the Minimum Mortality Temperature
BACKGROUND The minimum mortality temperature from J- or U-shaped curves varies across cities with different climates. This variation conveys information on adaptation, but ability to characterize is limited by the absence of a method to describe uncertainty in estimated minimum mortality temperatures. METHODS We propose an approximate parametric bootstrap estimator of confidence interval (CI)...
متن کاملEvolution of Minimum Mortality Temperature in Stockholm, Sweden, 1901–2009
BACKGROUND The mortality impacts of hot and cold temperatures have been thoroughly documented, with most locations reporting a U-shaped relationship with a minimum mortality temperature (MMT) at which mortality is lowest. How MMT may have evolved over previous decades as the global mean surface temperature has increased has not been thoroughly explored. OBJECTIVE We used observations of daily...
متن کاملGeographical variability, pheromones
The worldwide variation in mating strategies can be explained by differential paternal investment theory, which traces the differences back to the climates where the various peoples (races) evolved. Male provisioning is necessary for women and children to survive cold winters, which is less essential for tropical women. Androstenone may be the substance that makes symmetrical men smell better t...
متن کاملTemperature Variability and Mortality: A Multi-Country Study
BACKGROUND The evidence and method are limited for the associations between mortality and temperature variability (TV) within or between days. OBJECTIVES We developed a novel method to calculate TV and investigated TV-mortality associations using a large multicountry data set. METHODS We collected daily data for temperature and mortality from 372 locations in 12 countries/regions (Australia...
